  1. LG should have replaced our refrigerator 4 years ago. So many many things went wrong with it the first year and now, at 5 years old the compressor was bad, replaced it. Still not cold. Making sound like a plane is taking off, Codes this time ER and FF.
    I hate this LG refrigerator and will never buy another.

    Thank you for sharing this post “LG Refrigerator Error Codes”

  3. I have an LG LFX31945ST/02 french door that have cooling issues.
    The motherboard, compressor and dryer has been replaced.
    Now the unit cools down but up to 48F only (freezer).
    During self test mode all evaporator fans work and the unit has been plugged since 24 hrs.
    Looked at the coils and no frost.
    There are no error codes on the front panel and no flash codes on the motherboard.
    Before new motherboard and compressor, unit won’t cool at all.

  4. I have the same problem . It hurts me because I paid a lot of money and it’s also LG . So never buy a refrigerator with sensors . Or stainless . They are just fancy but worthless

  5. Your frozen up on your evap coil behind the bottom back panel of your freezer. Get a hair dryer and try to defrost the coil or leave unplugged for a day. Best to remove the back panel of freezer and apply hair dryer. Short term fix for defrost cycle not working.

    Tuan Ly,
    If you have replaced the freezer fans and the main PCB board on your LG bottom freezer refrigerator, then you may have a simple wiring harness or communication error.
    Recheck all wiring harness on the boards, fans and near the display panel.
    -RR

  7. I have an LG bottom freezer, model# LFXS30766S02. I have an error code “e” and “rF”.
    I replaced the fans in the freezer section, still have the same error code after I turned the refrigerator off for 3 hours.
    I have to reset every 3 hours in order for the error code to go away.
    The ice and water dispenser works during the reset but do not work when the error code is on.
    I then change out the main PCB board in the back of the refrigerator where the power cord is.
    I still have the same error code but now the ice and water dispenser do not work at all.
    Even during the reset period or during the error code period.
